Noel Gallagher makes his hugely anticipated homecoming to Manchester this weekend, with the first ever live gig inside Wythenshawe Park. Some 25,000 fans will be flocking to the vast Greater Manchester park to see the former Oasis icon in action with his High Flying Birds on Saturday night.
Doors open at 2pm, and there's a whole raft of entertainment across the afternoon from Noel's special guests. The live music kicks off at 3.40pm from Picture Parlour, before performances from Billy Nomates, Future Islands and Primal Scream, with Noel expected on stage at around 9.15pm.
If you're heading along to the gig, be aware that it's going to be a busy one - and you will need to pass through security checks to get inside so the advice is to get there as early as you can. To ease the process, gig organisers have published a full list of banned items that you will NOT be allowed to take into the concert.

If you do turn up with any of the banned items, you will be asked to leave these at the gates to gain entrance. But be warned - no items left at the gate will be able to be collected again if they are left there by the ticketholder, and will be disposed of.
Banned items on the list include potato peelers - which is not as crazy as it sounds. Oasis fans may recall that Noel's estranged brother Liam has regularly hurled potato-based jibes towards his brother over the years.
It led to potato peelers being banned from previous performances to stop jokers from trying to peel potatoes during gigs. That included at Liam's 2018 appearance at Parklife at Heaton Park.
Valid photo ID may also be requested at entry. Here's the full list of what
